Israeli Rightists Plan 11 New Outposts in 2 Days

TEL AVIV, July 26, 2009 (WAFA)- In recent days Jewish rightist organizations have been distributing pamphlets calling on their activists to erect new outposts on Monday and Tuesday, while US Mideast envoy George Mitchell is touring the region.

Members of the Israeli rightist Land of Israel Faithful movement announced their plan to set up 11 new outposts in the West Bank in the coming week in what they say will be an attempt to mimic 'that night in 1946 when the Jewish community established 11 new positions in the Negev ahead of the land's partition.'

Attorney Michael Sfard, legal advisor to Yesh Din, says the leftist organization plans to call on Israel Police and the army to thwart the plan to set up new West Bank outposts.

'The leaflet indicates an intention to break the law in an organized manner,' says the attorney.
